Popular documentary initiative Loading Docs has announced the ten short documentaries it has chosen to produce this year.
Over its five years Loading Docs has become increasingly popular with filmmakers looking at getting their projects funded, created and distributed.
This year the chosen theme was 'Impact' which saw pitches on everything from a profile on a female stock car driver, a look at English Baptist on a mission from God to 'decolonise' the minds of New Zealanders and a portrait of the lone resident living on a sinking island.
But before production on these, and the other seven, documentaries can begin their pitches must raise $2000 on the crowdfunding platform Boosted. Organisers of Loading Docs believe this develops a strong relationship between the filmmakers and the audience.
